    Did the PGs already go? How did Lillard and Wroten look?

    Jay Williams was tweeting about them earlier, so I assume they went already.

    Ha! Finally I'd get my No. 2 choice out of that draft! I'd love to get Rudy, and a coach who can get the most out of him.

    I'm guessing they're gonna go PG--> SG-->SF-->PF-->C

    Hope the other top prospects actually show up.

    16,460,538 17,888,931 19,317,325 Those are his salary numbers the next 3 yrs, do you really want to pay a guy like Gay that much in the new CBA and hamstring this team? That would be a very bad move IMO, he is nowhere good enough.

    This question goes to MM as well

    Beal @ #2 is absolutely nuts.

    Yeah, they went already. I wasn't paying too much attention the drills though so I can't say how they looked. The only thing I noticed was the last drill was spot up 3's and Wroten was awful. I think his broken shot is going to keep him around 20, which could end up being a huge steal.

    Beal seemed somewhat intelligent in his interview, unlike Lamb. I know a higher IQ doesn't always correlate with being a better player but it sure doesn't hurt.

    Yeah. As time goes on i want us to draft him more and more. I normally shy away from wanting to draft guys from UW (except Roy, I really wanted him). I root for them all year long so I just assume I have my purple glasses on when evaluating their talent. But Ross is just so fucking smooth out there. The biggest fault I saw all year was his passiveness, but I think a lot of that was probably the result of him and Wroten just not fitting together all that well.

    I spotted Chad.

    lol I wish I could attend events like this with so many GMs coaches in a concentrated area. I saw Avery and VDN chatting.

    Highly doubt the scouts get much out of these events. I think they're more like networking sessions.

    Good scouting video on Lillard:
    [video=youtube;bng3raIac0s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bng3raIac0s#![/video]

    Like: stuff about his character and scoring efficiency
    Dislike: his PG skills
    Conclusion: I'd rather have Marshall.

    Marshall's lack of athleticism scares me.

    Can you imagine if the Cleveland #Cavs drafted Bradley Beal. What a backcourt that would be with he & Kyrie Irving. #NBAcombine
